The size of the left and right ventricles can be estimated from height and weight. The authors are from multiple institutions participating in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA).
Parameters:
(1) height in meters
(2) weight in kilograms
(3) sex
(4) age in years
left ventricular mass in grams for a male =
= 8.25 * ((height)^0.54) * ((weight)^0.61)
left ventricular mass in grams for a female =
= 6.82 * ((height)^0.54) * ((weight)^0.61)
right ventricular mass in grams for a male =
= 11.25 * ((age)^-0.32) * ((height)^1.135) * ((weight)^0.315)
right ventricular mass in grams for a female =
= 10.59 * ((age)^-0.32) * ((height)^1.135) * ((weight)^0.315)
